How does Zoom drop-in advising work?

We will open the Zoom meeting at the scheduled times noted above. Once you click on the link you will remain in the wait room (our virtual queue) until your turn. We will see students one at a time on a first-come, first-served basis. You are welcome to work while you wait, but keep your meeting screen open so you are aware when it’s your turn. Please be prepared in advance with your questions, so we can help as many students as possible.

* Please note that students are required to sign into their Queen’s email address when joining our Zoom meetings. You will need to click the key icon labelled “SSO”, make sure the domain is set to “queensu”, and enter your email address without “.ca” as well as your netID password. For assistance, please follow the SSO tutorial here. If you are still having difficulties logging on after following the tutorial, please contact ITS at 613-533-6666 during Drop-In hours for assistance.

If you are a prospective student without a Queen’s email account, please email your inquiries to asc.studentservices@queensu.ca.
